During the administration OF
President Polk, Vice-President Dallas
presided over the Senate. The two
members of that body from the State
of Arkansas, so the story goes, differ
ed in their pronunciation Of the
name of their constituent. One call
ed it Arkan-sass-the other-Arkan-
saw. On that point it would have
been easy to offend them. With
well-considered grace, therefore, Mr..
Dallas, in announcing their names
from the chair, took pains to say,
"Mr.-of Arkansas" or "Mr.-
of Arkan-saw," as it might happen
to be. Nobody was offended or
could be by such gentle and cour-
teous concession to their foibles.

whom the demand for service is fire.
quent and various, though he has no
more hours than anybody else that
he puts even a refusal, when it has
to be given, into almost as gracious
form as a favor granted. And, who
is not familiar with some Of the
stories of President Lincoln, that ex-
hibited this art of conduct in him
in bright, strong degree.
Omission Of doing or saying may
be tact quite as truly as doing or
saying. OF that kind was the at
tempt of Sidney, the English agent
of William of Orange, to sound Lord
Halifax, whether he favored the
movement to place William on the
throne of England. Halifax, Sid
ney was assured, was 80 hostile
to the Court that he would Join in
overthrowing it. Sidney saw him,
and brought it to his attention in
directly. Halifax, equally keen,
said, he didn't care to hear about
such matter, and without a direct
word on either side each came to a
clear understanding of what the
other intended.
But, probably as perfect an ex-
ample as any is related of General
Grant, just prior to the surrender at
Appomattox. 1t is told that during
the night preceding, a man, suppos-
ed to be spy, was captured at the
outposts, taken to.Grant's headquar-
ters, and the General brought out.
The man, taking out of his mouth a
quid oftobacco, drew from it silver
foil, inside of which was a message
from Sheridan, telling Grant of
break in the line between Meade
and himself, and the possibility of
Lees escape through. To have sent
orders to Meade on Sheridan's sug-
gestion would have been lily receiv-
ed possibly, by the sensitive General.
There was one way out. Grant
mounted his horse, rode to Meade's
headquarters, sent for Sheridan, ask
ed each about the disposal. of their
lines, and gave both the requisite
orders to fill the gap in their lines
without indicating that he had any
previous knowledge of the situation.
Tact is the genius of the moment.

city ever built in America where
